Limits....again. Help!

OpenStudy (babynini):

Both numbers 6 and 7, but let's begin with 6!!

#6) b = 4?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Ya :) Imma wait and see what Ganeshie has to say though ^^

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Notice that the denominator is 0 when you plugin x=0 Also, for the limit to exist (finite), you must get the indeterminate 0/0 form when you plugin x=0. otherwise the limit does not exist (infinite). so, the numerator part must evaluate to 0 at x=0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\sqrt{ax+b}-2\) evaluating it at \(x=0\) and setting equal to \(0\) does give you \(b=4\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

plugin the \(b\) value, rationalize and you will see what \(a\) needs to be

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

For 7 note this |dw:1444533414414:dw| you can do the same with |2x-1| you'll have an ugly numerator at the beginning, but it'll simplify to something nice :D
